I am currently looking at a 99 base model. It looks like the car I really want, but I am concerned about rust. Where are the key places to look for rust on these cars? If this has already been asked, please direct me to the thread.

I assume the quarters and frame rails, but any specific ways to detect the beginnings of rust?

Hey does anyone have a photo of where the rust can be found on the front suspension? I am not sure what he is talking about. Do you mean in the engine compartment where the shocks are bolted, or on the firewall itself?

Say some water had leaked into the spare tire area...how do you suppose he'd get it out

He would have to take the two plugs out and let most of the water drain out, then get an old towel to soak up the remaining water. Next, you go to Honda Automotive Parts and buy two new tail light gaskets to replace the bad ones. While you wait for your gaskets to ship, keep the plugs out so that the water doesn't sit. Finally, go to this thread: Trunk Leak and check if you have any other leaks leading to the trunk.
